While the jury was announcing their verdict, Amber Heard stood by her lawyers awaiting the answer, however, Johnny Depp was across the ocean in the United Kingdom. After the jury found Heard was guilty of defamation and would have to pay Depp over $10 million, he was pretty thrilled to say the least.
Johnny was waving and cheering to crowds on Thursday morning outside his hotel in Newcastle, and his security team had to shield him from all of his fans as he tried to make his way inside. He even fist-pumped as he walked into the hotel lobby.
Johnny Depp Is Living It Up After His Court Victory With Fist Bumps In U.K.
Depp has been receiving praise and excitement from fans across the internet and in-person since the verdict went his way, and ironically, just 2 years ago in the United Kingdom, he had lost a devastating legal battle when a judge ruled against him in a libel lawsuit against a tabloid site that called him a “wife-beater”.
Today, however, he is celebrating a huge victory after an American jury believed in him and that he did not in fact, physically abuse Amber Heard. Now, he’s feeling the love from his supporters. Amber on the other hand is not so thrilled as she released a statement on her Instagram shortly after the verdict.
Now it appears as though she will be looking for ways to pay the enormous sum claiming she doesn’t have a way to come up with that money.
This is a huge week for Depp and we wouldn’t be surprised to see him out and about with swathes of fans cheering him on.
